Jason Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 For reference, here's Smith going from fat to less fat (IIRC he looked like he does on the right of this pic when he had his heart attack): Fat Kevin to Husky Kevin (I mean, at the time it seemed like Skinny Kevin) was pretty dramatic so it's kinda nuts to see that he still had all that weight to take off.

SaysWho? Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 What a transformation. I'd love a picture of him now trying to wear the clothing in that picture on the left. Those pants are freaking huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Yeah he got up to blimp size proportions in that one pic from years back. Glad he's getting healthy. I don't know what he weighs now, but I wonder how many years it's been since he has weighed this much. He probably hasn't been that skinny for 20+ years.

As a fan of most of his work, I'm really glad he lost the weight, but will he update his clothing style? Because my God dude, you're an adult, and you don't have fat to hide anymore.

I'm sure he could afford clothes that "fit" for a 400 pound man back when he was one, but I'm sure he was insecure about his weight and wore over-sized clothes to hide it, as many heavier people are wont to do.

The funny thing is...it just makes you look fatter when you wear clothes that don’t fit the shape of your body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehhhh - form fitting clothes on fat people is not pleasing to look at. I agree getting stylish clothes helps regardless of body type though - he should have shopped for better clothes for heavier people, but not form fitting clothes, per se. Obviously, confidence in how you carry yourself in the clothes matter too. Sure, he can wear form fitting clothes if he wants to, but it's not pleasant to look at.

I mean, clothes that fit a 400 dude won’t be cut like those for a 170 pound CrossFit stud. But throwing a king size bed sheet of a shirt on isn’t doing the man any favors.

I always assumed those were the kinds of clothes 400 pound dudes wore (mostly the only kinds of clothes I've ever seen them wear at least). I take your point though.

I take your point though. The problem is you pretty much have to get all custom stuff, which as I mentioned before Smith could definitely afford. But it’s way easier to dress nice if you’re closer to the ideal weight range for your height. I’m a broad shouldered 6’3” and I've fluctuated pretty significantly between about 200 and 235 as an adult, and it’s amazing how much easier it is to find nicely fitting clothes when I’m on the 200 side of that range than the 235, so, yeah it’s gonna be tough when you start getting into the 300 and 400 pound range.

Oh, for sure. I'm 6'2" (also broad shouldered) but 170 lbs. When I'm 185 lbs, it's a lot harder to find clothes that fit me well than when I am 170 lbs (depending on if I'm an out of shape 185 lbs vs. an in-shape 185 lbs, and I've been both haha). It can be tough. I hear ya brotha heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's go shopping. He's Kevin Smith. If he wants to wear hockey jerseys for the rest of his life, he can. It's not like he's an average joe who needs to wear chinos and a slim fit button down so people will respect him. Plus he's older, so people are going to care even less. I'm sure he'll at least update his wardrobe a little bit because it wont be uncomfortable to wear nice clothes, but he doesnt really need to.

I'd much rather look at Kevin Smith looking like this Than a fat dude wearing "fitted" clothes like Donald Trump Also me gaining weight and having to wear fat clothes compared to my work clothes (dress shirt and tie) it's much morning comfortable as well.

Kevin Smith isn't even fat now, so we wouldn't have to worry about that. My entire point was there are ways to be heavy and stylish, just not per se wearing form fitting clothes. That's why I said better clothes earlier, not form fitting clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I think there is a misunderstanding. Fitted and clothes that fit don’t mean the same thing Fitted is particularly describing clothes cut to leave nothing to the imagination, if you will. Trump is a great example of somebody who doesn’t wear clothes that fit, see his entire wardrobe of suits that are like 4 sizes too large Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
